It seems a shitty way to concede a possible championship winning season ( a long shot, but possible) but I can't see any way of downloading this megapatch. I assume its for CE?

Anyway, if I can't play, I'll need to put my team into cryostasis for at least a season, as BT are about as quick as a particularly relaxed snail on ketamine, and aren't scheduled to install my broadband until the 26th November.

Will I have to return in the bottom div? Or I can I restart somewhere in the middle?

Yeah, it was a disappointing end, especially when it was a match that actually made a difference - a win would have given you the championship. :-/

Do you know anyone near you who's got LE installed? If they could do the Steam backup / archive thing and stick that on a disc you could probably use that to manually install the patched version.

There seems to be a problem with the spreadsheet - it's showing the current season as season 21, but looking at the historical results season 20 was the last one Jiiiiiiiim won, so I think 21 was last season and this should be season 22. Have the results for 21 been lost somehow?

The team 'The Spirits' pledged themselves to Chaos to help them win a match which would decide the fate of their home town 'The Spirits' received vague omens which likened to the approval of a lesser being.

When the match was played they could do no right despite epic efforts, the ball slipped from their hands, the match was lost and the invaders took the town without bloodshed and exiled the team.

On the journey to a nearby city the team received visions telling them this was as planned as had they won the invaders would have broken their pact to resolve the game by Bloodblowl and that not a lesser being but Tzeentch itself answered the call.

Just had a thought. Currently Xenny is at the top of Div K, and depending on whether ntw returns in time he may end up in second place. Seeing as Xenny is retiring and ntws is a filler team, how does that work as far as promotions and suchlike?

Don't ask man, it's too complicated for human comprehension!
I believe groovy does all the promotions and such and then takes out the leavers and shuffles people up appropriately.

The promotions system will be done on the best second place across the tier, in case of a missing player, so this will be the person with the next highest points, or highest TV to break a tie. The tier system makes this a bit easier for me to sort out than it did before, as there's at least 4 candidates for a promotion if the top player is missing.

Aah, I see, so it's the best of the tier that move, not the specific divisions? That's good, Div K could be a bit messy otherwise.

There was a team of dark elf linemen in my other league this season. It didn't go well in the end, although they levelled up several linemen and have cash in the bank to buy their blitzers. So, long term, it might turn out to be awesome.

I think it's different for pro elves though - having AV7 means that even skilled linos are pretty squashy!

This is definitely Season 22. I'm pretty sure Jolima* made a copy of the Season 21 spreadsheet back when we did the draw for this season? I couldn't tell you were to access it though.

(*Not attempting to drop Jolima in it or anything! He did a lot of the work preparing the spreadsheet that night and I am sure I remember him mentioning copying it too. He can confirm/deny/say more.)

Alas, no. I realized too late that no backup had been taken and did something to try restoring it which didn't work out for some reason. I think I've realized better how to use the actual stored revisions in google docs now though, and narrowed it down to one of the last Sep 17 versions being what we want. I think we can get it back again from there, but it's probably best if no one touches the spreadsheet while that's happening. I'm busy for most evenings this week, but could try doing it at some point if no one else gets to it first.

With all the discussion of new teams, I've been wondering how people usually go about building a fresh team? Myself, I tend to count out the cost of 11 linemen and write down the price for each potential 'upgrade' from there in units of 10k before picking something together. For instance here are the notes for my current Nurgle team:

Ie. You have 56(0k) to spend after getting 11 rotters. A reserve costs 4, a reroll 7, upgrading a rotter to a pestigor is 4, to a warrior is 7 and to a beast is 10. To the right is the build I went with (4 Pestigors for 16, 4 Warriors for 28, 1 Beast for 10). And below is the reroll heavy extreme that I was also considering. How are the rest of you doing it?
